Therascout does not diagnose. Have new, severe or persistent complaints checked by a doctor.
Follow your surgical team’s instructions, e.g. how much weight you may put on the joint.
When to see a doctor straight away
If any of these comes on top of your symptoms:
- A painful, swollen or warm calf (possible thrombosis)
- Breathlessness or chest pain: call 144 at once
- Fever, or the wound is red, warm or oozing
- Rapidly increasing pain or a joint that suddenly cannot take weight
In an emergency: 144
What you can do yourself
Practise daily
Do the exercises from therapy regularly at home.
Move early
Get moving as early and as much as your care team recommends.
Treat the pain
Take pain relief as prescribed so that movement and exercises are possible.

Physiotherapy
A standard part of aftercare, e.g. after joint replacement. After knee replacement it improves function in the short term; long-term benefits are less clear.
Therapists may offer several methods, so they can be counted more than once.
